Tel: 86-150-2100-6037. E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 12, 2012 Accepted: June 4, 2012 Online Published: July 1, 2012 doi:10.5539/ach.v4n2p16 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ach.v4n2p16 The final completion and publication of this article was supported by the New Century Program to Promote Excellent University Talents (no.: NECJ-10-0355). Abstract This article depicts the dynamic demonstrations of religions in late imperial and republican Jining. It argues with evidences that the open, tolerant and advanced urban circumstances and atmosphere nurtured the diversity and prosperity of formal religions in Jining in much of the Ming and Qing periods. It also argues that the same air and ethos enabled Jining to less difficultly adapt to the West-led modern epoch, with a notable result of welcoming Christianity, quite exceptional in hinterland China. Keywords: Jining, religions, urban, Grand Canal, hinterland, Christianity I. Introduction: A Special Case beyond Conventional Scholarly Images It seems a commonplace that intellectual and religious beliefs and practices in imperial Chinese inlands were conservative, which encouraged orthodoxy ideology or otherwise turned to heretic sectarianism. It is also commonplace that in the post-Opium War modern era, hinterland China, while being sluggishly appropriated into Westernized modernization, persistently resisted the penetration of Western values and institutes including Christianity.

  • Bejing Photo-Essay, September 2019, by Elly
    Bejing photo-essay, September 2019, by Elly View from my window: 4th Ring Road (on the right) and Olympic area (straight ahead) I was invited by a former visiting scholar at ASU to come to Beijing for a month, to teach syntax at the University of Science and Technology, Beijing (USTB). My students were amazingly dedicated and asked so many good questions: I really loved their enthusiasm! My host made life very enjoyable and the experience truly amazing; she and wonderful students showed me Beijing life and sights. More on all of this below! And a friend came up from Zhengzhou and we spent two days exploring the Great Wall outside Beijing, a Ming village, and saw a farm and the most beautiful mountain ranges. Themes in the below are: USTB, cityscape, transportation, world view, art, my teaching here, food, and special sights inside and outside of Beijing. The Great Wall at Badaling The University of Science and Technology has 30,000 students with a number of international students (mainly from Africa), who I was told get better dorms: 2/room where Chinese students are 4 to 7 to a room. Undergraduate fees are US $500-1000 (4000-6000 Y) and graduate ones a little over $1000 (8000- 10000 Y) per year and dorm fees 900 Y. Students get government and departmental aid. USTB is one of many universities in the Haidian/Wudaokou district, in the NW of Beijing; others are Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), and Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU). 1 School of Foreign Studies, before the semester started West Gate of USTB; Soviet style buildings BFSU library BLCU North Gate I was perhaps most surprised by how much green there is and how much older architecture is preserved.

  • Horizontally Shifted and Vertically Superimposed Ancient Cities: Comparing Urban Histories of Chang’An and Rome1
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 2, Issue 2 – Pages 111-128 Horizontally Shifted and Vertically Superimposed Ancient Cities: Comparing Urban Histories of Chang’an and Rome1 By Meng-chi Hsueh This article compares the forming and transforming process of two grand ancient capitals, Chang’an and Rome. Chang’an had been chosen as the capital of ancient China for many occasions. Repeated relocation had left Chan’an with a series of former sites widely distributed. By contrast, the urban cores of Rome had never moved faraway but remained within a confined area. It is observed that the historic city of Rome tend to be superimposed vertically instead of being horizontally scattered like Chang’an. This paired intriguing phenomenon makes the researcher wonder why and how these differences were made in the two millennium-old cities’ urbanization process. This study delves into the cause and mechanism of their unique development manners by comparing site selection procedures and the temporal-spatial configuration of each city respectively. Three aspects of proposition have been identified as critical to the cause of such dissimilarities, namely ideological thinking, practical consideration, and construction materials. Introduction This article aims at comparing the formation and transforming process of two grand ancient capitals, Chang’an in China and Rome in Italy. Both of them have been used for more than two and a half millenniums, continuously, without complete abandonment but having their urbanized territory shrunk due to the decline of the respective empires. Both the two worldly famous and influential capitals have been the heart of great unified empires, which granted them symbolical importance in each civilization.
